If spirituality is the need of the hour, then US needs Christianity more than India. When it comes to spirituality, India is far richer than any country on this planet.

Yes , I have told and attempted to explain to my pastor that the Christians in India I admire so very much! And it is because they must deal with hate like you have and they do and still love the Lord!

"And it is because they must deal with hate like you have and they do and still love the Lord! "

Sorry I dont hate Christians.

"If this has happened and there is sufficient DNA to prove it then they should suffer the legal consequence."

They have already been given death sentences. Old news.

"Scary isn't it you must feel that your place in the caste is going to go down."

I dont know what to make of your posts. They are just downright silly. Thats all I can say.

Just kind of jumping in here a bit, hope you don't mind. There is a lot of religion bashing going on, and as conservatives we would do well to respect that others have the right to worship and belief as they see fit, even if we have a different path. Even Thomas Jefferson felt that every member of every religion deserved the freedom to worship and belief.

If you learned more about Hinduism, you might be surprised to find that the most basic beliefs are not any different from what Jesus Christ taught. Having studied both the Bible and the Vedic scriptures, it is clear that love for God and love for others is the essence of both.

This is what Thomas Jefferson had to say about religious freedom and respect for other religions:

"Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests
of society require the observation of those moral precepts ... in
which all religions agree."

"...an amendment was proposed, by inserting the words "Jesus Christ," so that it should read, "a departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion"; the insertion was rejected by a great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and the Mahometan, the Hindoo, and Infidel of every denomination."
--Thomas Jefferson

The second quote is in connection with the Virginia constitution, if I'm not mistaken. So it's very clear that Jefferson respected all religions, and considered freedom of religion the foundation of our country.
